Stovesand said that every member of the club is involved in the fundraiser, whether they are personally helping on the day of the barbecue fundraiser or selling tickets in advance.

The money is used for the Stuttgart Rotary Club programs and events throughout the year and provides scholarships for graduating high school seniors.

"This is over $1,000 more than last year," Stovesand said. "We are very proud of that amount."

Stovesand said he wants to thank everyone who came out and supported the Stuttgart Rotary Club.

"This is a community effort, and we want to thank everyone for their support," Stovesand said.

The next fundraiser for the Stuttgart Rotary club is the annual Stuttgart Rotary Auction, which is chaired this year by Dr. David Bush of First United Methodist Church and Dr. Sam Roberts of First Baptist Church.

The Stuttgart Rotary Club will soon be accepting auction items to be bid on during the December radio broadcast.
